　　The dual SiC MOSFET driver reference design is an open-source solutionthat provides user-friendly design guides, enabling faster time-to-marketfor customers using MicrosemiSiC MOSFETs. The reference design alsosupports the transition to Microsemi’s next-generation SiC MOSFETs.

　　The new reference design provides customers with a highly isolated SiCMOSFET dual-gate driver switch as a means of evaluating SiC MOSFETsin a number of topologies. This includes modes optimized for half-bridgeswitching with synchronous dead-time protection and asynchronoussignal transfer with no protection. It can also be configured to provideconcurrent drive to study unclamped inductive switching (UIS) or doublepulse testing. The board supports the modification of gate resistor values toaccommodate most Microsemidiscretes and modules.

　　The dual SiC MOSFET driver reference design is ideal for a wide rangeof end markets and applications, including aerospace (actuation, airconditioning, and power distribution), automotive (hybrid/electric vehiclepowertrains), electric vehicle battery chargers, DC-to-DC converters, andenergy recovery), defense (power supply and high-power motor drive),industrial (photovoltaic inverters, motor drives), welding, uninterruptiblepower supply, switched-mode power supply, induction heating, and oildrilling), and medical (MRI and X-ray power supply).

　　The reference design is optimized to drive SiC MOSFET devices at high-speeds with desaturationprotection. It is a base design that can be simplified depending upon the individual systemrequirements.

　　参考设计MSCSICMDD/REF1主要特性:

　　Requires only a 24 V power input

　　Adjustable –5 V, +20 V output gate drive

　　Galvanic isolation of more than 2000 V on both gate drivers

　　Capable of 6 W of gate-drive power/side (8 W with modification)

　　Peak output current up to 30 A

　　Maximum switching frequency greater than 400 kHz

　　Single-ended or RS485/RS422 differential input gate control

　　Shot-through (short-circuit) protection

　　±100 kV/μs capability

　　Programmable dead time protection

　　Fault signaling

　　Under voltage lockout protection

　　Note: The board has been tested to 400 kHz.Any calculation of gate-power drive must include thefrequency dependent portion of the driver IXDN630 and the ADuM4135.

　　This design uses an analog device (ADuM4135) to pass signals across the isolation boundary. The deviceis a good fit for the application, with the exception that the under voltage lockout on the gate side isnominally 11 V, which is rather low for SiC MOSFETs. The ADuM4135 has a 4 A driver. To work aroundthe low UVLO and to increase the output current, the output is buffered through an IXDN630 driver. Azener diode is added in the positive leg of the ADuM4135 to increase the UVLO trip point toapproximately 18 V.

　　With any gate driver, there is a need to transfer energy across the isolation interface to drive the gates.

　　Most standard isolation supplies are not designed with adequate insulation, a low-capacitance interface,or tolerance to the high dV/dt associated with SiC MOSFETs in a half bridge. Consider that 10 pF ofcapacitance across the barrier translates to a 350 mA current spike back into the gate supply and itsassociated grounding. It is desirable to keep the capacitance across the gate supply transformer to aminimum.

　　Power is transferred across the isolation boundary with an LTC3999 switching IC followed by a customtransformer. Power is transferred unregulated over the boundary and then regulated on the gate side.

　　This decouples the isolation transformer design from the regulator design.

　　Microsemi’s FPGA controls power sequencing. In the first 0.5 second, the FPGA reduces the poweravailable from the LTC3999. During this time, switching is blocked, hence there will be little demand forpower and the LTC3999 can only deliver about 1 W. After the timeout, if there is no fault condition,power capability is increased to approximately 6 W. If at any time a fault is flagged by one of theADuM4135s, then switching is cut off to both drivers and power is reduced. This protects the LTC3999against a shorted load as this board is used for product development and generally should surviveoutput device failures.

　　The gate power transformer is constructed from an RM8 core by Fair-rite, part number 6278230121, abobbin by Loadstone, part number B-RM8-2-PH. The wire is by Belden, part number 8053 doubleinsulated magnet wire. The primary is 26 turns center tapped, 26 Gauge. The secondary is 13 turns, 26Gauge. The core is electrically conductive so some of the pins closer to the core have been removed toincrease clearance. The split bobbin design results in a primary-to-secondary capacitance of only a fewpicofarads and provides good electrical isolation.
